The Upper East Side elite are sending their nannies to a 'boot camp' where they learn how to use Uber

A member of a prominent New York City family has created a boot
camp for domestic workers whose employers are unsatisfied with
their cooking, cleaning and cab-summoning skills.

Jill Wilpon, whose husband is banker Lyle Wilpon, worked in
executive search and corporate staffing for two decades before
starting Chorz, a staffing
service for maids and nannies,
the New York Post reports.

And now, she has added training sessions to ensure workers are
proficient in everything a Park Avenue family could need.

According to Page Six:

Servants to the wealthy can be sent next Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.
to Park Avenue mom Jill Wilpon’s Chorz housekeeping camp — where
lessons include “table setting,” “understanding the workings of a
Manhattan building,” “how to work your Cres-tron” home automation
system or “load your washing machine” and even “keeping the best
linen closet.”

Wilpon also lamented to the Post that many nannies who come
from foreign countries don't know how to use Uber, either, so
Chorz, of course, works to rectify that.

This is far from the first time Upper East Siders have banded
together to police each other's help. The blog I Saw Your Nanny
functions as a forum where concerned users can anonymously tattle
on nannies who they see misbehaving in public.

"This is hysterical," ISYN founder Lesley Kring told
Business Insider in an email. "It only surprises me in that if
you are a family of means, why are you hiring someone who doesn't
understand a building? Why isn't your housekeeper experienced
working with the finest of appliances?"

There are plenty of candidates who could do the job without
a boot camp, she added.
